Alright clearly you are exporting in full quality which is fine for some purposes. In this case you need to compress. I haven't used premier in 2 years since I have moved to FCP so i am a bit hazy on how to do it. I believe its file-->export-->media encoder or something like that. From there you will want to make the format to .mov not .mpeg! .mov is so everyone can watch it and plus quicktime is much better. Worse comes to worse search in google: How to export to .mov in premier

here is a sample:
